I haven't thought about it in a while but I see the usefulness of a program like you said but a while back I tried getting a program for what you mentioned but wasn't been able to find one. I'm using Linux which is good since from what I've seen a while back any programs work on it, but I had some issue(s) and don't recall now what it was. In any case I'd be interested in looking into it since you brought up how it can come handy with certain things.

Personally, I prefer hand scanning since any software cannot do for me what manual scanning does such as enabling me to at the spur of the moment change what number to scan, for example I may start with 303-232-0000 through 303-232-0100, find an interesting one then suddenly decide to try scanning other possibilities around it and with added digits at the back end of it like this :
start with 303-232-0000
then try 303-232-0000*
then try 303-232-0000#
I've done this more than once, so for me I cannot have a program make sudden unexpected decisions like this, only a manual scan works for it.

Ok....now it's merging my posts. Do you see this post here below merged with one of mine above (it was a separate post):
I don't see the world either dude...lol...jk... just had to shed humor on the issue.
.........................
Ok NSA, I'm not impressed.
Perhaps that's the NSAs idea, merge some posts so the Census ones won't make sense anymore should anyone go looking. Sneaky yet obvious.

scratchy
Great. I forgot the obvious, NSA bots...lol.
Maybe they've haunted my account because of a hack of the Census Bureau I once posted so this is why they're scanning my thread, to log my reaction.
Speaking of a problem here, I now am having a posting issue. To post this I had to ignore what it kept doing which is quoting the post above yours where I last replied to you. It quoted it & to rid the text I had to hit backspace because copy/cut wasn't working. It even did this when I hit the quote button on your last post - it quoted the one above it instead. Bug city....
NSA
Why pick on me? Like little old me can impact what you're doing..... ? if that's what this is.... just sayin.

? Thanks for letting me know. I'll just wait then.
At least I can log in ok, I'm halfway there. ☺
I'll also wait to pm PurpleJesus who had messaged me while I couldn't log in & my name was correct. If I pm'ed now he'd probably say who are you. Lol. I'd better wait till he can recognize me or he may think it's someone pretending to be resistor X. No biggie, just wanted to explain why I couldn't reply back.
I see this thread has over a hundred views so far... what's so interesting about a user with an account problem? Lol jk, thought I'd insert humor here.....

I've tested my logging in & logging out just now because right after you posted this I accidently deleted my browsing history so it logged me out of here. I tried logging back in back then & saw I then had logged in ok twice in a row. I thought this over & just decided to act on what I saw then & just tested logging in & out several times. It appears the 2 successful logins I just mentioned means it was working ok when I posted this thread but I didn't know it because it's working fine. I bet when the fixes were done after the software change you mentioned did the trick. However it never fixed the name so is there a way you can change the name to resistor X as it was?
Thanks.

Thanks for that because I had hit the contact button at the bottom of the pages below trying to report this but got an auto reply emailed to me saying anything sent to it isn't read & is deleted by the server, so lucky for me my post here was visible & that should get this reported to someone, thanks again.
As to what you asked me, if I can see the right name in the upper right I don't know since I have to temporarily use my Android to surf so I'm seeing a watered down version of binrev so it won't show me that area at all.
When I log in I use that same funny text we all see here, jp3a75bm, lol. Funny the theme of my account issue is "log in" problem and post name is "log in" name...both are the "log in" topic. ?
Also, did I mention there's no way to contact anyone if you can't log in? I mentioned this needs to be fixed too but then my message went to auto reply. Perhaps you could relay that one as well when you get a chance.
Edit : Hey, I successfully logged in twice now without an issue. Funny bug.... ☺
I don't see the world either dude...lol...jk... just had to shed humor on the issue.
?

I've had a huge problem logging in for ages, don't even ask for how long! I couldn't even contact anyone to fix it because there was no contact links anywhere unless you're logged in -catch 22!
So, somehow I've now managed to log in. However, can I be seen ok or am I the only one that can see me post? Secondly, will this post show "resistor X" like it should or will it show incoherent letters as it did when I googled my old posts (while not logged in) and saw it looked that way?
Hey, if anyone reading this can let me know about these things I'd appreciate it.
Sorry for making a test post but what else can I do....
Thanks.
Edit : I just posted this & see those odd letters I just mentioned. Do you people see that too?
